We do not need more studies (see attached). We need the FCC and HHS to immediately recognize the harm and protect the health and safety of Americans and the nation. Fiber optics is safer, faster and more secure. Why has the FCC allowed wireless frequencies to proliferate without recognition of the harm? Why did the FCC pass laws in 1996 to disallow communities to stop the proliferation of cell phone towers based on health or environmental effects? Why hasn't the FCC updated their 30 year old safety studies that were flawed int he first place? Why has the funding for determining the effects of manmade frequencies been eliminated from the Environmental Protection Agency? Why hasn't the HHS taken the necessary steps to determine the effects of radio frequency microwave radiation on humans, animals and all biological life? Our government agencies have failed us and I request this issue be regarded as a top priority.","attachments":["https://downloads.regulations.gov/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-4392/attachment_1.pdf"],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-4392","tags":["sleep-cognition","exposure-places","policy-standards","research-evidence"],"source_hash":"b8f1b6b340ac4d1f27f873c0247a623bfa9bf229dee77930bbe0cc62b0e22b30","slug":"sleep-cognition-comment-4392","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-4392","body_sha256":"0a8782c946deb52a7b53ac4773526542b341bba9e617efbd3da8b27480df628d","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"standards","topics":[{"id":"standards","evidence":"nd HHS to immediately recognize the harm and protect the health and safety of Americans and the nation.
